List of Qing imperial residents in Tibet

From 1727 until 1912, roughly corresponding to the era of Tibet under Qing rule, the Qing Emperor appointed " imperial commissioner-resident of Tibet" (). The official rank of the imperial resident is '' amban'' (Tibetan: བོད་བཞུགས་ཨམ་བན, ''bod bzhugs am ban'', colloquially "High Commissioner"). With increasing diplomatic contacts between the British and the Qing in from the 1890s, some assistant ambans () were just as notable as the senior ambans. Two of them, Feng Quan and Zhao Erfeng, who were stationed in Chamdo, were both murdered, the former in the Batang uprising and the latter in Xinhai Revolution.

List

The ethnicity of several ambans are unknown. By ethnicity, of the 80 ambans, most were Manchu and four were Han: Zhou Ying, Bao Jinzhong, Meng Bao, and Zhao Erfeng. At least fifteen Mongols were known to have served as ambasa, perhaps more.
